Chandigarh,

Haryana Health, Medical Education and AYUSH Minister, Ms Arti Singh Rao, said the State Government has accorded administrative approval for construction works worth about Rs. 423.48 lakh at various health institutions to strengthen healthcare services in rural and urban areas. The initiative aims to provide modern, standardised buildings to Sub-Health Centres that currently lack their own buildings or operate from panchayat buildings and other premises.

The Cabinet Minister said that the approved works include the construction of new buildings for Sub-Health Centres at Rajgarh and Kalinga-II villages in Bhiwani district, Mangorka and Gadpuri villages in Palwal district, and Dewrar and Dharoli villages in Jind district. Land filling and laying of interlocking pavement blocks for the Block Public Health Unit (BPHU) at the Community Health Centre, Rania, in Sirsa district have also been approved.

She said that all these Sub-Health Centres are fully functional and already have the requisite human resources. They will now be provided with permanent, modern buildings based on standard designs covering 187.60 square metres, prepared by the Department of Architecture in accordance with the Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS), 2022.

In addition, the State Government has approved the construction of a new Primary Health Centre at Sakras village in Nuh district.

The Health Minister said that the State Government is committed to constructing new health institutions during the financial year 2026–27 and has made adequate budgetary provisions for this purpose. On completion, these works will improve access to quality medical care and healthcare services close to home for patients in rural areas and further strengthen the State’s healthcare infrastructure.
